Here is what I recommend to do:

Boot into the Windows OS, which is currently running on your notebook, and check the DeviceID of the Intel SATA AHCI Controller (right click onto it > "Properties" > "Details" > "Property" > "HardwareIDs").

Integrate the driver according to my guide (see above link). When you get the list with all supported Intel SATA Controllers, just highlight the "Intel(R) 8 Series Chipset Family Mobile SATA AHCI Controller" with the matching DeviceID (see point 1).

To all people, who say XP is dead, please consider there are sometimes critical imporant software which is not ready for new OS, or which is very very expensive like in my case.

Im still using XP in H97 board series with fast SSD and HDD in AHCI mode which is very stable and fast, so im very happy.Please look at my first post how to do it.

In my opinion best is install XP in IDE mode, because its hard to do it in AHCI mode - and change it after OS install with Fernando's driver.Im almost sure it can be possible also with old installed earlier XP windows, but please remember, when you do it wrong (its easy to do mistake) system dont wake up anymore.So i reccomend to do copy and try it with not important OS system (install new XP OS for example) before change IDE to AHCI.

The question is: How did you manage the switch from IDE to AHCI mode?

According to my knowledge this is the simpliest way without touching the registry (Pre-condition: You should know the exact DeviceID of your on-board Intel SATA AHCI Controller):1. Install XP with integrated SP2 or (better) SP3 in IDE mode.2. Run the Device Manager and expand the "IDE ATA/ATAPI Controllers" section.3. Right click onto the listed Intel SATA Controller (if you see more than 1 Controller, check the HardwareIDs to find the Intel one = VEN_8086).4. Choose "Update Driver Software" > "Browse my Computer..." > "Let me pick ..." and hit the button "Have Disk".5. Navigate to the folder, where you have stored the "Universal 32bit Intel RST AHCI & RAID driver v11.2.0.1006 mod by Fernando" and hit the file named iaAHCI.inf.6. Disregard the warning, that no compatible device could be found.7. When you get the list with all available Intel SATA AHCI Controllers, choose the one, which suits your system (according to the DeviceID).8. Let the OS install the driver (disregard all warnings).9. Choose to reboot, but enter the BIOS instead of letting the system finish the reboot (otherwise you will get a BSOD).10. Set the Intel SATA Controller to "AHCI".11. Save the changed BIOS setting and reboot.12. Enjoy Windows XP in AHCI mode.

This message indicates, that you have tried to install a 64bit driver into a 32bit OS or vice versa a 32bit driver into a 64bit OS.Which guide did you follow and which driver did you install/load/integrate?>Here< is the guide about how to inegrate an Intel textmode driver into a Windows XP CD. This method works even with Intel 9-Series Chipset AHCI and RAID systems.

ZitatAnd with a clean CD of windows xp profesional sp3 i get :the bios in this system is not fully acpi compliant

How did you try to install XP? Which "Compatibility Support Modudule" (CSM settinghave chosen within the BOOT section of the UEFI BIOS?
